This week, I had the pleasure of presenting at Rutgers Business School as part of the Institute for Ethical Leadership’s 2010 Nonprofit Leadership Certificate Program. In addition to conducting sessions on nonprofit compensation for both the executive and emerging leaders tracks, I welcomed the opportunity to conduct a plenary session on the use of social media and social networking for nonprofit organizations. The session offered the program participants an overview of what social media is, why many nonprofit organizations are choosing to use it, and some tips on how to go about implementing or enhancing their organizations’ social media presence and practices.

It was my pleasure to present this week at Rutgers Business School as part of the Institute for Ethical Leadership’s 2010 Nonprofit Leadership Certificate Program. In addition to leading a plenary session on the use of social media and social networking for nonprofit organizations, I had the chance to address both the executive and emerging leaders tracks on compensation in the nonprofit sector.
The two presentations overlap in conveying information about the past, present, and future of nonprofit pay. The first presentation, for the emerging leaders, also offers a brief overview of executive compensation in the sector, as well as a primer on pay for performance approaches. The second, for established executives, provides recommendations on ways to enhance their organizations’ pay and performance management practices.
Emerging Leaders
Executives
Each of the conversations branched out in several interesting discussions, some of which I’ve touched upon in previous posts, and all of which were worthy of further discussion. You may find the following related posts of interest:

California, here I come!
I’m excited about participating in the San Diego Nonprofit Human Resources Management Symposium on Wednesday, June 16th, 2010. The event is sponsored by the Institute for Nonprofit Education and Research, part of the University of San Diego‘s School of Leadership and Education Sciences, and will take place on the USD campus.
Nonprofit Employment Trends
I look forward to participating in a panel discussion framed around the results of the recently completed 2010 Nonprofit Employment Trends Survey. This survey, conducted jointly by the Caster Family Center for Nonprofit and Philanthropic Research and Nonprofit HR Solutions, examines the employment practices of over 500 nonprofit organizations nationwide. Our discussion will focus on key findings including staff size and projected growth for 2010-2011, recruitment strategies and budgeting, key staffing challenges, and staffing resource management.
The Path to Pay for Performance
Following the panel discussion, I am conducting a seminar which will guide organizations in preparing for, developing, implementing, and maintaining effective, performance-based salary programs. We will examine the rationales, prerequisites, steps, and tools for a successful program, and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions about implementing pay for performance in their own organization.

I am very pleased to announce that I will be among the speakers at the 2010 Nonprofit Human Resources Conference!
The conference, which is produced by Nonprofit HR Solutions and sponsored by The Chronicle of Philanthropy, will be held October 3-5 in Washington, DC.
My session, “Pay for Today (and Tomorrow): Compensation in the Nonprofit Sector”, will take place on Monday, October 4th, from 3:45pm to 5:00pm. The session will:
- Focus on prevailing practices and emerging trends regarding compensation in the nonprofit sector
- Provide the new, established, or non-HR professional with insight into the current and future state of nonprofit compensation
- Offer a broad survey of the state-of-the-art in topics including pay-for-performance, variable and incentive pay, and non-cash rewards
- Consider the impact of changes underway in the nonprofit sector — including the increased focus on organization evaluation and measurement of impact and the emergence of low-profit, social enterprise, and other hybrid forms of organization — on the future of compensation.
